(SULLIVAN – WTMJ) The National Weather Service has announced updates to the warnings and advisories that will go into effect for Jan. 23.
An Extreme Cold Warning will go into effect at midnight for all of southeast Wisconsin. Dangerously cold wind chills as low as -35 to -42 are expected.
Friday morning low temperatures will reach -15, with winds developing early that bring wind chill temperatures to between -30 and -40. Sub-zero wind chills will likely remain over the weekend and into the start of next week.
Once the warning expires, a Cold Weather Advisory will go into effect at 1 p.m. on Friday, January 23 until 12 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 24. Wind chills are expected to reach as low as -20 to -29.
It’s recommended for anyone who needs to spend time outside to dress in layers, including a hat, face mask, and gloves, since frostbite can set into exposed skin in as little as ten minutes.
